UNSPSC 85573842: Extirpation of matter from right upper lung lobe, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right upper lung lobe, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0BCC4ZZ

UNSPSC 85573842, Extirpation of matter from right upper lung lobe, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's clinical procedure name. The solicitations instead cover occupational health surveillance, disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence networks, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies include municipal pension boards, counties, state departments of transportation, health systems, and county commissioners' offices across multiple states—a diverse mix of jurisdictions procuring administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and clinical staffing rather than the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

Recent activity centers on Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026, seeking disability medical record summary and examination coordination for approximately 75 annual pension disability applications under a five-year contract with a $750,000 maximum value. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a due date of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026, requiring physician-supervised baseline and periodic examinations across 14 statewide ferry locations. The City of Long Beach posted HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out services with a due date of October 7, 2026, covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees. The code's use here appears inconsistent with its UNSPSC definition, suggesting either misclassification in the state and local procurement system or that the code entry reflects outdated or overly narrow taxonomy that does not match actual healthcare contracting practice.
